   • Bantry, Ireland
   • Sights › Museum

   In the former stables of 18th-century Bantry House you'll find the 1796 French Armada Exhibition Centre, with its powerful account of the doomed French invasion of Ireland, led by Wolfe Tone. The fleet was torn apart by storms; one frigate, La Surveillante, was scuttled by its own crew and today lies 30m down in the bay.
